the CEO was granted
300,000
options to purchase shares of the Company

$3.00
per share, the closing price on the date of grant.  The option vests in
five
equal installments on

2019,
2020,
2021
and
2022.
  Under the terms of the award agreement,
no
portion of the option
may
be exercised unless and until the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan Amendment to the Amended
2016
Plan by
November 13, 2018.  
   
 
Effective
November 13, 2017,
the Company entered into an amendment to the COO
’s employment agreement by replacing a provision for the annual grant of
25,000
shares of restricted stock and
25,000
options with a single grant of an incentive stock option to purchase up to
250,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. The options, granted on
December 29, 2017,
have an exercise price of
$3.00,
the closing price on the date of grant. The option vests in
five
equal annual installments on
December 29, 2018,
2019,
2020,
2021
and
2022
and has a
ten
-year life. Under the terms of the award agreement,
no
portion of the option
may
be exercised unless and until the stockholders of the Company approve the Plan Amendment to the Amended
2016
Plan by
November 13, 2018.
 
On
July 7, 2016,
the Compensation Committee also adopted a short term incentive program under which cash awards and shares of common stock
may
be granted to employees of the Company (the “Short Term Program”).
The aggregate amount of the cash awards issuable pursuant to the Short Term Plan is approximately
$276,000.
Up to
104,000
shares of common stock from the Company’s
2006
Plan, subject to vesting, are issuable pursuant to the Short Term Program. On
July 26, 2016,
98,417
shares and
$266,000
of cash awards were granted under the Short Term Program. The cash awards granted pursuant to the Short Term Program were payable and the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Short Term Program fully vested on
July 1, 2017,
provided, that such award recipients were employed by the Company as of
July 1, 2017
or immediately if terminated without cause. Three of the
eight
employees were terminated without cause during the year ended
June 30, 2017,
as such,
51,636
shares vested. The remaining
46,781
shares vested on
July 1, 2017.
 
Upon the termination of the employment of the Company
’s CEO in
November 2016
and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in
March 2017,
in accordance with their employment agreements, all outstanding options and restricted stock unit awards immediately vested. As a result, the Company recognized (i)
$539,000
of stock compensation expense in general and administrative for the quarter ended
December 31, 2016,
as the vesting accelerated on the CEO’s options to purchase
72,496
shares of common stock and
79,720
restricted stock unit awards, and (ii)
$94,000
of stock compensation expense in general and administrative for the quarter ended
March 31, 2017
as the vesting accelerated on the CFO’s options to purchase
16,248
shares of common stock and
15,914
restricted stock unit awards. Additionally, the terms of the options were modified upon the executives’ termination such that the options were deemed to be exercisable for longer than
90
days from the date of termination. There was
no
incremental compensation cost recorded for this modification as the fair-value-based measure of the modified award on the date of modification was less than the fair-value-based measure of the original award immediately before the modification.

$8,000
determined as of the date of option exercise. There were

June 30, 2017
and
2016.

the closing price on the date of grant, vest ratably every
six
months over a
three
year period, and have a
seven
year life.
